Serbia #2: Drvengrad, Mokra Gora

ENG

Our Serbian road trip with the family led us 200 km from Belgrade to Mokra Gora, a famous touristic destination in southwestern Serbia. Beautiful landscapes full of green nature and golden summer light took us to Drvengrad, meaning "wooden city" (also called Kustendorf), an ethno village built by famous Serbian film director Emir Kusturica. It's a picturesque little place with traditional wooden houses, charming shops and restaurants where each house, square and street is dedicated to some famous person, from Maradona, Fellini to Novak Djokovic. It's also known for its Film and Music Festival. Speaking about famous people, we even manage to see in person, José Mujica, the former president of Uruguay, famous for his extremly modest lifestyle. A perfect day with the family ended up in a little cottage, cozy and cute, colorful and charming, old but modern. If you're in Serbia, I truly recommend this place for a little getaway.

Am happy that you eve met the former president of Uruguay. This place is as you described it,the wooden houses, the green environment, it is just wow!! I love your outfit and Mr Dominguez looks dashing!www.fashionstylemlogul.com

Yeah, that was really a surprise, especially because the place is so small and you don't expect to see someone that famous :D Yes, it's really beautiful and relaxing, I truly enjoyed it :) Thanks from both of us, dear :)

Wow, Mokra Gora looks terrific and good to know about this village, which has street contains with famous Serbian people - I'm fan of tennis and I haven't had idea that Djokovic has street conected with him in Serbia ;) What's more, the views are truly beautiful and dreamy - sounds like you had really relaxing time at this place, Tijana ;)

Hehe, I didn't know that. How cool! Djokovic is definitely and icon, not only in Serbia but worldwide. I also like him a lot :) Yes, the place is so cute and unique, a really fun way to enjoy the nature and have a great time, too :)

I have heard about Drvengrad (btw it means the same in Bulgarian) and I really would love to visit it one day, which is not an impossible mission, since it's close to my country. How lucky you were to see the former president of Uruguay! I am sure you had a great time there!
